We have made it through the busiest retail time of the year. Thanks to all of our great volunteers, we had a great last quarter. Our sales were almost $60,000.
The best news of all is that our board met in November and voted to make the following contributions:
Heifer Project ( $10,000) - whose mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and to care for the earth. They do this with a simple idea of giving families a source of food (animals) rather than short-term relief and the families then pass the gift on by giving away offsprings of their animals.
India Cyclone Relief ($10,000) -In mid-November, Bangladesh was devastated by Cyclone Sidr, which killed more than 3,400 people and affected nearly 4 million others. Worst hit was the country's southern coastal strip, and many of our artisan partners have been severely impacted by the disaster - some have been made homeless. We have sent money to assist in rebuilding.
We are looking forward to a great 2008.
